With just six paid employees, the Florida Railroad Museum depends on dozens of volunteer members to keep the Museum running year-round. These members provide administrative skills, on-board services, restoration, maintenance and everything else required to operate the Museum and its train.

Membership is available to anyone who has a desire to see the Museum succeed. As a member you can also volunteer on the train crew.
